Four unruly women : stories of incarceration and resistance from Canada's most notorious prison / Ted McCoy.

McCoy, Ted, 1978- (author.).

Summary:

Bridget Donnelly. Charlotte Reveille. Kate Slattery. Emily Boyle. In this shocking and heartbreaking book, Ted McCoy tells these women's stories of incarceration and resistance in poignant detail. The four women served sentences at different times over a century, but the inhumanity they suffered was consistent. Locked away in dark basement wards, they experienced starvation and corporal punishment, sexual abuse and neglect - profoundly disturbing evidence of the hidden costs of isolation, punishment, and mass incarceration.
